The flat blank is preferably made ofpaperboard or a like lightweight, imperforate, disposable material andthe receptacle and base portions are made from a single flat blank orseparate flat blanks which fit together to form the complete assembly. Aline cutting blade and roller support for the tie line is carried by theassembly in a convenient location.

17 Claims, 8 Drawing Figures STORAGE RECEPTACLE-BUNDLER ASSEMBLYBACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION Daily newspapers collect rapidly into largestacks which pose disposal problems. Some attempts have been made toprovide a receptacle in which the papers are stacked on their flatsurfaces or sides until enough are collected to form a bundle. Thecollection of newspapers is then tied using a suitable tie line or twineto form a bale or bundle. For example, in US. Pat. No. 3,171,347 thereis disclosed a storage box for newspaper in which newspapers are stackedon their flat sides with the box being specifically constructed to bemade from plastic in a molding operation. Among the disadvantages ofproviding this type of molded product is the initial cost of a mold, thedisposability of the unit and the space required for shipment of abox-shaped unit. Moreover, when the newspapers are placed flat on theirsides, a relatively large receptacle is required and a substantialportion of the unsightly newspapers are visible.

Accordingly, it is a general object of this invention to provide animproved, relatively inexpensive, compact and durable storagereceptacle-bundler assembly for newspapers and the like which isspecifically adapted to be made from a flat blank of a lightweight,readily disposable material such as paperboard or the like.

Another object of this invention is to provide an improved storagereceptacle-bundler assembly for newspapers and the like specificallyadapted to be shipped in a flat condition and assembled at the point ofuse.

Yet another object of the present invention is to provide a novelstorage receptacle-bundler assembly which is sized and constructed andarranged to receive the newspapers edgewise and support only a limitednumber of the newspapers upright to substantially conceal a majorportion of the newspapers during collection and to provide a relativelylightweight bundle.

Still a further object of the present invention is to provide animproved storage receptacle-bundler assembly which affords a wide rangeof advertising possibilities and is readily disassembled and is readilydisposable.

In accordance with the present invention, in a preferred embodimentshown there is provided an assembly including receptacle and baseportions made of a flat, paperboard material with crease lines, lots andflaps constructed and arranged to be folded into the required shape andsecured together as a relatively rigid structure. The receptacle portionhas an open top sized to receive a plurality of newspapers upon theedgewise insertion of the newspapers thereinto and support a collectionof the newspapers side by side with the base portion in the receptacleproviding a lower support surface above the lower edges of opposed sideopenings to support the papers relative to the side openings so thattwine or a like tying line may be inserted via a throughspace under thebundle and around the full extent thereof for tying the newspapers intoa bundle. In one form shown, the receptacle and base portions are madefrom a single-piece blank and in another form shown are made of separateblanks which fit together as a unitary structure when assembled. In amodified form, the side openings are confined to the lower part of thereceptacle with side spacers in the receptacle portion to facilitate thedrawing of the line around the newspapers being supported.

Other objects, advantages and capabilities of the present invention willbecome more apparent as the description proceeds taken in conjunctionwith the accompanying drawings, in which:

FIG. 1 is a perspective view of a storage receptaclebundler assembly fornewspapers and the like embodying features of the present invention withonly a fragment of a collection of newspapers shown therein for claritywith the newspapers being supported in an upright manner;

FIG. 2 is a top plan view of the assembly of FIG. 1 with the newspapersremoved;

FIG. 3 is a side elevation view of the assembly of FIG. 1 with afragment of one part of the base portion broken away to show the mannerof support for the tie line support roller;

FIG. 4 is a plan view of a single-piece, flat blank of material shapedwith suitable flaps, slots etc. from which the substantially sizedassembly of FIG. 1-3 may be formed;

FIG. 5 is a plan view of a flat blank of material suitably shaped forproviding an alternative single-piece base portion construction whichinserts into a separate single-piece receptacle portion;

FIG. 6 is a top plan view of another form of storage receptacle-bundlerassembly embodying features of the present invention;

FIG. 7 is a side elevation view of the assembly shown in FIG. 6.

Referring now to the drawings, the storage receptacle-bundler assemblyshown basically comprises a receptacle portion generally designated bynumeral 11 and a base portion generally designated by numberal 12disposed within the receptacle portion, these portions being shown in anassembled form in FIGS. 1-3, 6 and 7 in a fiat form in FIGS. 4, 5 and5A.

In the assembled form shown in FIGS. l-3, the receptacle portion 11 hasa box-like, generally rectangular configuration with a bottom section 15having opposed upright end sections 16 and 17, attached to the bottomsection and opposed upright side sections 18 and 19 attached to thebottom section with the top of the receptacle left open above the endand side sections to provide a top opening 20 through which the papersare inserted edgewise downwardly into the receptacle portion 11 and restupon the base portion 12. The size or dimension of the assembly isdesigned to support a collection of the newspapers N arranged side byside in an upright manner. In this connection, the width of thereceptacle portion 11 is substantially less than the width of thenewspaper lying on its side in a flat condition to form a relativelynarrow, highly compact assembly which will conceal a major portion ofthe newspapers collected therein.

The side sections 18 and 19 are formed with U- shaped side slots oropenings 21 and 22 respectively, which open through the top of theassociated side section, the side openings being of a similar size andshape. The side openings extend throughout a major portion of the sidesections and are located centrally thereof. Each side opening is boundedby opposed inner side edges 23 and 24 and has a lower edge 25 spacedabove the bottom of the receptacle portion. This open slot arrangementallows the tie line to be brought around the top of the newspapers andtied as described more fully hereinafter.

The base portion 12 has two flat support sections 31 and 32 arrangedparallel to the bottom section defining spaced oppositely disposedsupport surfaces, disposed at opposite positions relative to the sideopenings and end sections 33 and 34 for supporting the supportsurfaces apreselected distance above the bottom section 15 on the receptacle, thisdistance being sufficiently above the lower edges defining the sideopenings 21 and 22 to provide hand access openings 35 of a sufficientsize to permit a human hand to pass therethrough and through athrough-space under the newspapers N for the insertion of a tie line ortwine therethrough and along the underside of the newspapers N. The tieline is then pulled up around the newspapers collected and tied to forma bundle which may be readily removed by lifting it through the topopening.

As an optional feature, there is further provided a line-supportingroller support or spindle 37 with reduced end portions releasablyinserted into aligned apertures 38 in the end sections 33 and 34 tosupport a roll or spool of tie line represented at 39. A cutting blade40 having a relatively dull blade edge with end portions 40a with asnap-on female socket adapted to be releasably inserted into the edgesdefining the sides of the associated side openings to facilitate theconvenient cutting of the tie line 39.

Referring now to FIG. 4, there is shown a singlepiece, flat blank ofmaterial suitably creased, cut and shaped along the edges to be formedinto the abovedescribed assembly at the point of use. The part of theblank forming the receptacle portion 11 includes an upper bottom flap 41attached to a side section 18 along a crease line 42, a tapered end flap43 attached to end section 17 along a crease line 44 with side section18 and end section 17 being attached at a crease line 45. A lower bottomflap 46 is attached to the other side section 19 along a crease line 47with side section 19 and end section 17 being attached along crease line48. In turn, end section 16 has a tapered end flap 51 attached theretoalong crease line 52 with end section 16 and side section 19 beingfastened along crease line 53.

The base portion 11 is provided by using an intermediate connectingsection 55 attached to end section 17 along crease line 56 with supportsection 32 being attached along crease line 57 to section 55 and withsection 32 being attached to end section 34 along crease line 58. Thefree outer edge of section 34 has a tab 59. In a like manner, anintermediate connecting section 61 is attached to end section 16 alongcrease line 62 and attached to support section 31 along crease line 63.End section 33 is connected to support section 31 and has an end tab 65.

Side section 18 is further provided with a flap 71 separated from theside edges of the side opening 21 by cuts or narrow slits and isattached along a crease line 72 with the upper edge terminating in a tab73. Similarly, side section 19 has a flap 74 separated from the sideedges of the side opening 22 by cuts or narrow slits and attached alonga crease line 75 with the upper edge terminating in a tab 76.

The upper bottom flap 41 has a pair of opposed centrally disposed slots81 and 82 which receive tabs 59 and 65, respectively, and a pair ofopposed slots 83 and 84 which receive tabs 73 and 76, respectively.Slots 83 and 84 are inset slightly from crease line 83 and side edge 84to position the associated tabs so that the base portion will beprevented from movement relative to the receptacle portion. The lowerbottom flap 46 has a pair of opposed slots 85 and 86 which receive tabs43 and 51, respectively.

In the forming of the blank shown in FIG. 4 into the assembly of FIGS.1-3 the parts are appropriately folded along the crease lines. The upperbottom flap 41 is placed above lower bottom flap 46 and the taperedflaps 43 and 51 inserted into slots 85 and 86, respectively, to form thebottom section 15 of the receptacle portion. The tabs 73 and 76 of sideflaps 71 and 74 are inserted into slots 83 and 84, respectively. Theconnecting sections 55 and 61 are folded back and down along the insideof sides 16 and 17, respectively, and the lower tabs 59 and 65 insertedinto slots 81 and 82, respectively. A fastener strip in the form of tapeT with an adhesive is secured at the open corner along adjacent edges ofside section 18 and end section 16.

In the alternative arrangement shown in F IGS. 5 and 5A, like partscomparable with FIGS. 1-4 are designated by like numerals with thesuffix a added. The blank for the receptacle portion 11 is the same butthe intermediate connecting sections 55 and 61 are removed along creaselines 56 and 62, respectively, so that the base portion designated bynumeral 12a is separate from the receptacle portion 11 above described.Base portion 12a has top sections 31a and 32a connected along creaselines 64a and 58a to end sections 33a and 34a, respectively, with endsections 33a and 34a being joined by an intermediate section 87 atcrease lines 88 and 89, respectively. In the assembled form theintermediate section 87 extends along the bottom of the receptacleportion.

The structural arrangement for the support sections 31a and 32a is thesame and generally stated in the assembled form is box-like with a openbottom. Since a description of one of the box-like structures formingthe base portion applies to both, with reference now to support section32a there is provided side sections 91 and 92 and a back section 93,each having an outer tab 94 which will insert into a corresponding slot95 provided in the modified upper bottom section 41a shown in FIG. 5A,the slots 95 being located at the ends and along the sides thereof atthe bottom of section 41a. The side sections 91 and 92 and both sections93 attach to the top section 32a along separate crease lines and thereis further provided a corner section 96 at each corner which is attachedto one of the sections 91, 92 or 93 and is separated by a slot 97adjacent the attaching crease line to permit the corner sections 96 totuck in or fold behind back or side sections when the back or sidesections are folded into a box-like shape which will support thenewspapers above the bottom of the receptacle. An alternative to thearrangement shown in FIG. 5 is to remove the intermediate connectingsection 87 and have sections 31a and 32a separated. Moreover, it isunderstood that the form of bottom portion used in FIG. 4 may also beprovided with side, back and corner sections 91, 92 and 96 for addedsupport strength.

In the alternative form of receptacle shown in FIGS. 6 and 7, thereceptacle portion and base portions may be constructed in the samemanner as the above described so that it may be shipped in a flatcondition and assembled at the point of use. The receptacle portion ismodified to the extent that it has annular hand access side opening 98in the lower portion thereof below the support surfaces provided by thebase portion with no corresponding openings through the top of thesides. Further there is added four spacer members 99 along each innerside wall outwardly of the openings to provide a channel 100 on eachside for insertion of the hand along the sides of the bundle to pull thetie line up around the sides and over the top of the collection ofnewspapers. The principal advantage of the form is that the receptacleportion has stronger side walls.

By way of illustration and not by way of limitation, a storagereceptacle-bundler assembly as above described for newspapers using Mainch cardboard may have the following dimensions:

Length l7 A inches Width 7 inches Height l4 /2 inches Height of SideWall 2 6 inches to side opening Height of Support 4 5: inches surfaceWidth of side 4 /4 inches opening Although the present invention hasbeen described with a certain degree of particularity, it is understoodthat the present disclosure has been made by way of example and thatchanges in details of structure may be made without departing from thespirit thereof.
